First words
Foreword: If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's the fact that _everyone_ wants to be appreciated.
Preface: Few management concepts are as solidly founded as the idea that positive reinforcement -- rewarding behavior you want repeated -- works.
Introduction: Results of a recent survey by the Council of Communication Management confirm what almost every employee already knows: that recognition for a job well done is the top motivator of employee performance.
Chapter 1: This section suggests informal -- that is, spontaneous -- rewards and forms of recognition that can be implemented with minimal planning and effort by almost any manager.
